I recently received a request to create a unique piece of furniture designed to some exact specifications and requirements. The request: A 43″ long, 24″ wide table, tall enough to accommodate bar stools. Easy enough right? Then I was informed the top needed to fit a 200 lb. slab of granite the customer supplied and needed to be built from reclaimed wood.

This table could withstand a close-range bomb blast. Constructed from wood from a 100 year old barn which was recently dismantled, the legs are 7″ x 4″ old growth oak and the top supports are 7″ x 2″ rafters form the same structure.

If you have questions, ideas or would like a quote for custom designed furniture, I still have plenty of 100 year old wood. Please feel free to email me any time with the contact form on the sidebar. I will gladly quote full builds or simple repairs and mods. I’m here to help so lets go!
